Remarks

The GNI-based resource is an ‘additional’ resource, providing the revenue required to cover expenditure in excess of the amount yielded by traditional own resources, VAT-based payments and other revenue in any particular year. By implication, the GNI-based resource ensures that the general budget of the Union is always balanced ex ante.

The GNI call rate is determined by the additional revenue needed to finance the budgeted expenditure not covered by the other resources (VAT-based payments, traditional own resources and other revenue). Thus a call rate is applied to the GNI of each of the Member States.

The rate to be applied to the Member States’ gross national income for financial year 2020 is 0,6802%.

Legal basis

Council Decision 2014/335/EU, Euratom of 26 May 2014 on the system of own resources of the European Union (OJ L 168, 7.6.2014, p. 105), and in particular point (c) of Article 2(1) thereof.

Remarks

Article 175 TFEU provides that the objectives of economic, social and territorial cohesion set out in Article 174 are to be supported by the action the Union takes through the Structural Funds, which includes the European Social Fund (ESF). The tasks, priority objectives and the organisation of the Structural Funds are defined in accordance with Article 177 TFEU.

Article 101 of the Financial Regulation provides for financial corrections in the event of expenditure incurred in breach of applicable law.

Article 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, Articles 100 and 102 of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 and Articles 85, 144 and 145 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 on criteria for financial corrections by the Commission provide for specific rules on financial corrections applicable to the ESF.

Any revenue from the financial corrections carried out on that basis is entered in Article 6 5 1, 6 5 2, 6 5 3 or 6 5 4 of the statement of revenue and constitutes assigned revenue in accordance with point (b) of Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation.

Point (b) of Article 12(4) of the Financial Regulation lays down the conditions for the repayment in full, or in part, of pre-financing payments in respect of a given operation.

Article 82 of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 provides for specific rules on repayment of pre-financing amounts applicable to the ESF.

Pre-financing amounts repaid shall constitute internal assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(5) of the Financial Regulation and shall be entered in Item 6 1 5 0 or 6 1 5 7.

Measures to combat fraud are funded under Article 24 02 01.

Assigned revenue received under Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations under this chapter in accordance with Article 22(1) of the Financial Regulation.

The corresponding amount is estimated at EUR 1 200 000 000.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover European Social Fund (ESF) support under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in less developed regions in the 2014-2020 programming period. The catching-up process for these economically and socially lagging regions requires long-term sustained efforts. This category of regions concerns those regions whose GDP per capita is less than 75 % of the average GDP of the EU-27.

Promotion of equality between women and men horizontally and through specific actions should be part of the support provided by the ESF, in order to improve the employability of women and their participation in the labour market. Special attention should be paid to non-discrimination in the labour market, combating the feminisation of poverty, access to education and affordable childcare services.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover European Social Fund (ESF) support under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in the 2014-2020 programming period in a new category of region ( ‘transition regions’) that replaces the 2007-2013 phasing-out and phasing-in system. This category of regions includes all regions with a GDP per capita between 75 and 90 % of the average GDP of the EU-27.

Gender mainstreaming and gender equality specific actions should be part of the support provided by the ESF, in order to improve the employability of women and their participation in the labour market. Special attention should be paid to non-discrimination in the labour market, combating the feminisation of poverty, access to education and affordable childcare services.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover European Social Fund (ESF) support under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in more developed regions in the 2014-2020 programming period. While interventions in the less developed regions will remain the priority for cohesion policy, this appropriation is thus intended to cover important challenges that concern all Member States such as global competition in the knowledge-based economy, the shift towards the low-carbon economy and social polarisation exacerbated by the current economic climate. This category of regions concerns those regions whose GDP per capita is above 90 % of the average GDP of the EU-27.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to provide additional support to measures against youth unemployment financed by the European Social Fund. It represents the specific allocation to the Youth Employment Initiative under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in regions with a level of youth unemployment exceeding 25 % in 2012 or for Member States where the youth unemployment rate has increased by more than 30 % in 2012, regions that have a youth unemployment rate of more than 20 % in 2012. This appropriation is intended to finance the creation of decent jobs.

While promoting gender equality, special attention should be paid to the situation of young women who can face gender-specific obstacles to get a good quality offer of employment, continued education, an apprenticeship or a traineeship.

This appropriation is to be used, amongst others, to support the establishment of educational structures combining non-formal education, language courses, democratic awareness and vocational training in the regions most affected by youth unemployment, both by state-actors and non-governmental organisations.

Remarks

Article 174 TFEU sets out the Union’s objective of economic, social and territorial cohesion while Article 175 TFEU specifies the role of the Structural Funds in achieving this objective and makes provisions for the adoption of specific actions outside the Structural Funds.

Article 101 of the Financial Regulation provides for financial corrections in the event of expenditure incurred in breach of applicable law.

Articles 56 and 57 of Regulation (EU) No 223/2014 on criteria for financial corrections by the Commission provide for specific rules on financial corrections applicable to Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (FEAD).

Any revenue from the financial corrections carried out on that basis is entered in Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue and constitutes assigned revenue in accordance with point (b) of Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation.

Point (b) of Article 12(4) of the Financial Regulation lays down the conditions for the repayment in full, or in part, of pre-financing payments in respect of a given operation.

Article 44 of Regulation (EU) No 223/2014 provides for specific rules on repayment of pre-financing applicable to the FEAD.

Pre-financing amounts repaid shall constitute internal assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(5) of the Financial Regulation and shall be entered in Item 6 1 5 0 or 6 1 5 7.

Article 19 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 lays down the conditions for the revision of the multiannual financial framework in order to transfer to subsequent years, in excess of the corresponding expenditure ceilings, allocations not used in 2014, in the event of the adoption after 1 January 2014 of new rules or programmes.

Remarks

The Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (FEAD) replaces the European Union’s Food Distribution Programme for the Most Deprived Persons of the Community, which was discontinued at the end of 2013.

To ensure continuity between the two programmes, expenditure shall be eligible for a support from a FEAD operational programme if it is incurred by a beneficiary and paid between 1 December 2013 and 31 December 2023.

The FEAD shall promote social cohesion, enhance social inclusion and therefore ultimately contribute to the objective of eradicating poverty in the Union by contributing to achieving the poverty reduction target of at least 20 million of the number of persons at risk of poverty and social exclusion in accordance with the Europe 2020 strategy, whilst complementing the Structural Funds. Since the proportion of women at risk of poverty or social exclusion is higher than is the case for men, FEAD will take a gender-sensitive approach by adapting measures to the groups actually at risk, including women and the elderly, migrants, and minorities (including marginalised communities such as the Roma). FEAD shall contribute to achieving the specific objective of alleviating and eradicating the worst forms of poverty, by providing non-financial assistance to the most deprived persons by food and/or basic material assistance, and social inclusion activities aiming at the social integration of the most deprived persons.

This objective and the results of the implementation of the FEAD shall be qualitatively and quantitatively assessed.

The FEAD shall complement and shall not replace or reduce sustainable national poverty eradication and social inclusion policies, which remain the responsibility of Member States.

The resources for the FEAD available for budgetary commitment for the 2014-2020 period shall be EUR 3 395 684 880 in 2011 prices.

Poverty is a multidimensional problem and tackling it should become a primary goal. Greater emphasis needs to be placed on poverty in all strategies, as poverty is a complex problem with many causes. Most importantly, it also has a great impact not only on the present but also on the future. People who experience poverty, especially children, are at greater risk of not succeeding in later life and of being excluded from society.

Article 175 TFEU provides that the objectives of economic, social and territorial cohesion set out in Article 174 shall be supported by the action it takes through the Structural Funds, which includes the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). In accordance with Article 176, the ERDF is intended to help redress the main regional imbalances in the Union.

While interventions in the less developed regions will remain the priority for cohesion policy, this appropriation is thus intended to cover important challenges that concern all Member States such as global competition in the knowledge-based economy, the shift towards the low-carbon economy and social polarisation exacerbated by the current economic climate. This category of regions includes regions with a GDP per capita above 90 % of the average GDP of the Union.

Remarks

The second paragraph of Article 177 TFEU provides that a Cohesion Fund is to be set up to support projects in the fields of the environment and trans-European networks in the area of transport infrastructure.

Article 101 of the Financial Regulation provides for financial corrections in the event of expenditure incurred in breach of applicable law. Any revenue from the financial corrections carried out on that basis is entered in Article 6 5 1, 6 5 2, 6 5 3 or 6 5 4 of the statement of revenue and constitutes assigned revenue in accordance with point (c) of Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation.

Article 82 of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 provides for specific rules on repayment of prefinancing applicable to the Cohesion Fund.

Prefinancing amounts repaid shall constitute internal assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(5) of the Financial Regulation and shall be entered in Item 6 1 5 0 or 6 1 5 7.

Assigned revenue received under Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations under this chapter, in accordance with Article 22(1) of the Financial Regulation.

The corresponding amount is estimated at EUR 1 051 597 000.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of emergency support operations to respond to the urgent and exceptional needs in Member States as a result of a natural or man-made disaster, such as the sudden and massive influx of third-country nationals (refugees and migrants) into their territory.

Emergency support will provide a needs-based emergency response, complementing the response of the affected Member States, aimed at preserving life, preventing and alleviating human suffering and maintaining human dignity. Emergency response may encompass assistance, relief and, where need be, protection operations to save and preserve life in disasters or their immediate aftermath. This appropriation is also intended to cover the purchase and delivery of any product or equipment needed for the implementation of emergency support operations, including the building of homes or shelters for affected groups of people, short-term rehabilitation and reconstruction work, particularly of facilities, storage, shipment, logistic support and distribution of relief and any other action aimed at facilitating freedom of access to the recipients of the aid.

This appropriation may be used to finance the purchase and delivery of food or any product or equipment needed for the implementation of the emergency support operations.

This appropriation may also cover any other costs directly linked to the implementation of emergency support operations and the cost of the measures that are essential for it within the requisite timescale and in a way which meets the needs of the recipients, satisfies the requirement to achieve the greatest possible degree of cost-effectiveness and provides greater transparency.

Any income from financial contributions from public and private donors entered in Item 6 0 2 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations.
